So I was going to post yesterday about how I ran across some recent pics of J. Simpson at an event, and she was looking FAB-U-LOUS!

pic from here
So imagine my surprise when I open up my US Weekly tab this morning and it tells me that Jessica Simpson is pregnant yet AGAIN! The girl makes adorable babies, so I understand the enthusiasm to get back on the horse (so to speak...), but she looks like she literally JUST lost all the baby weight & didnt make it a secret about the struggle. I dont know, to each their own. For me, I just wanted to get rid of all the weight and then enjoy it before I get preggers again. Or was it cause I wanted to enjoy margaritas? :)

Just another manic Monday am I right? My day will be looking like this: hit the gym, come home and make the hubby bfast, kiss the hubby & send him off to make those Benjamins, give Troy and myself bfast, head to my besties house for a bit of life catch up/coffee/play date with our chitlins (MUCH overdue), go to Tar-jay, go to Trader Joes, go to another grocery store, come home, unload said groceries, feed Troy and myself lunch, put Troy down for a nap, empty the dishwasher and load Sunday night dishes (nasty, I know), do the laundry, shower, change the laundry, nap or watch Netflix, feed Troy dinner, bathe Troy, put Troy to bed, make dinner, welcome hubby home with a big ol kisser, put my feet up and get ready to do it again. Sounds fun, huh? Welcome to my every Monday, ladies. I cant complain tho, right? Some people have it worse.

** those things crossed off have been done and done...writing this on Sunday evening**

Ladies, long time no talk, yeah? Lets get down to some huge news & no Im not talking about our Commander in Chief. I have been asking Nick foreveeeeeeer if Apple is going to have a Christmas party. Ever since he's worked there, I've wanted to go to a Christmas party. Just the idea of getting to put faces to the stories I've heard, and lets be honest, I want to dress up!

As a stay at home mamacita, I never get the chance to dress up in a semi formal dress. Well and if Im totally honest, even when I was working out of the home, I never got the chance to wear a semi formal dress. So imagine my excitement when Nick sent me an email with a Christmas party invite from the company!! Not only is it a Christmas party at a hotel downtown, but we are staying the night at the hotel - aka no T Rex - aka Mommy and Daddy time with drinks and dancing, BOOM!

So I am in a serious predicament - a dress! I have been looking at Tobi.com , 6pm, Kohls, Lulus.com, and Kiki La Rue. I LOVE SOOOOOOOO many of them, but none that make me go "OOO thats the one I want to wear in the spotlight wear that night.

Nick has told me his "requirements": A little lace is okay, but not overkill, CANNOT be shorter than knee length (something about not wanting his coworkers to see the goods, I dont know), and it cannot be TOO MUCH sequins (is there such a thing?).

I am going to the mall in 2 weeks with 2 of my bestest girlfriends to try on every dress find "the one" if I can't find it online by then. Here are a few I've pinned on my "Holiday Dress ideas" board on Pinterest.
